Trick-or-Treat!

Chase awoke from his nap and announced that it was, indeed, "HALLOWEEN!" Off we went, to a potluck in the cul-de-sac, a costume parade and then of course, the trick-or-treating! I love Halloween. 

And we love this monkey.

What sweet friends.

Ashton came by and the two of them had so much fun trick-or-treating together.

Ashton recently moved (not too far, thankfully!) so the two of them were super pumped to hang out!

I love watching little friendships bloom.

If the nights' events were up to Chase, here's how it would go:

Step 1: Knock and say "Trick-or-treat"

Step 2: Get some candy

Step 3: Say "Thank You"

Step 4: Plop right down in the person's driveway and eat the candy.

Step 5: Repeat

We managed something healthy in there somewhere. A banana, how typical.

My favorite moment of the evening was when Chase heard The Monster Mash (which he has LOVED for weeks and weeks) playing on a neighbor's porch and decided he would boogy:

A moment we will always remember.

Heading home.

Chase's loot. He was in bed by 8:30. He sang, wiggled, and squirmed in candy-induced silliness until 10:30 pm. The night was a success!
